er, I don’t see what’s so freakshow-like about him. Maybe a bit dorky and uncool, but nowhere near terrible.

divabat, much of the resume turned out to be embellished or faked. here are some of his other claims:

* He won two games against tennis great Pete Sampras, and taught Jerry Seinfeld and Harrison Ford to play
* He is an expert in Chinese orthopedic massage
* The Dalai Lama wrote his college recommendation letter
* He was an action star and professional skier
* He is a professional model and has appeared in promotional ads for multiple clothing stores including Ann Taylor and Saks Fifth Avenue.
* He worked for the Central Intelligence Agency
* He is a master in the art of bone-setting
* He forged passports for the Russian Mafia

From The New Yorker:

“Meanwhile, Vayner’s legend grows, like that of a latter-day Paul Bunyan. Acquaintances report hearing that he is one of four people licensed to handle nuclear waste in the state of Connecticut, that he must register his hands as lethal weapons at airports, and even that he has killed two dozen men in Tibetan gladiatorial contests.”

Uhhhhh . . . yeah.
